Fantastic (magic!) weekend in Newcastle!
Decent-ish weather; great games; good grub, company, & other stuff... live music, & many beers (such a lairy, petulant drunk, she is!), at the Cumberland Arms; hot times at the Simla... & some kick-ass football, with proper jeopardy:
*
Catalan mugged Saints to grab the League Leader's Shield: three tries in the last 5 minutes brought it to 30 apiece; Maloney dropped the golden point in the second period of extra time... we'd almost left early!
*
Trinity took Huddersfield 32 - 18 with simple, efficient, effective rugby - sets completed, & Lino didn't miss a goal!
*
The Wire arm-wrestled Wigan in an end-to-end game, winning 10 - 6, with Williams being booed as a traitor for scoring Warrington's second try.
St. James is THE Magic Weekend venue; later in the season, THE appropriate time.
